Monitor your thyroid health from home with the Boots Thyroid Blood Test Kit. This finger-prick test measures TSH and Free T4 levels to assess thyroid function. Ideal for those experiencing symptoms of underactive or overactive thyroid.
The Boots Thyroid Blood Test Kit will measure your thyroid function by assessing the levels of key hormones, using a finger-prick blood sample.
This laboratory blood test evaluates your thyroid function, looking at levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Thyroxine (Free T4) in the blood. The thyroid gland is responsible for processing the hormones that regulate your metabolism and thyroid disorders can have significant impacts on your health and well-being.
An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) does not produce enough hormones and can cause fatigue, hair loss, muscle weakness, weight gain and sensitivity to the cold. This condition is more common in adults over 50 and affects more women than men. If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to complications including heart disease, swelling in the throat, and pregnancy complications in women.
An overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) produces too many hormones and can cause anxiety, weight loss, hyperactivity, tremor, heat sensitivity or a swelling in the throat. If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to eye problems, and pregnancy complications in women.
